this film feels a little messy, the narrative is irrational, and sometimes the development of the story is confusing. This film is actually more like the stream of consciousness of the protagonist ian, the image of ian's life in his own mind - he only leaves what he cares about instead of what outsiders think he is most famous for. ian feels too well the feelings, feelings, loss and future, conflict and chaos in life to live, so much that what we take for granted becomes a deadly plague that cannot be resisted by him. This is chaos, and it cannot be carried by too sensitive nerves.
Black and white shots are beautiful. Personally, I think the biggest success of this film lies in the director's point of view: he didn't shoot ian as a star, he regarded him as a person, someone who was lucky, talented, neurotic, confused and low-energy. People, he was just taking a biography of a person, he took what Ian most hoped others would know about him. For a rock star who can marry early, give birth early, become famous early, have a love triangle, drug addiction, and suicide, singing may really be just an insignificant part of life. What he cares about is the feeling of life itself. In the ultimate secrets that no one has ever solved.
